Glass Goodbyes
A suicide bought us together
Oh how we all raised The Glass
We sang and danced at the front
Until you too did pass
It was a rainy Thursday they said
Some time in early spring
When you decided to leave us
Only no one knew a thing!
You're not here anymore
You're not at the front of the show
You're not dancing around, arms raised
You left and we didn't know
How could you leave us like that?
How can you just end?
It's not sunk in, that you're really gone
It feels like it's all pretend
It was a Thursday, that's what they said
How can you just end?!
Now we remember the way you left
And forget the way you lived
A year has gone by but it feels like yesterday
Since you upped and went away
And maybe one day, I'll let it go
But it won't be today

When words rattle around your head and won't let you rest, you have to write them down. The first two verses were written a week earlier, the rest wrote themselves as a song. I was cleaning my teeth and getting ready for bed and they took 10 minute and there was music behind the words as I wrote them out. Maybe it will be a song... it seems that's where my writing is taking me.
